Skumè

Ecco la Sirena di Taranto, Skumè (Schiuma), mentre ruba il fiore "Più Bello" dal giardino delle sirene. La sua fiaba "la sposa sirena"/"storia di una sirena" è tratta dalla raccolta di Giuseppe Gigli "Superstizioni, pregiudizi e tradizioni in Terra d'Otranto" e poi inserita da Italo Calvino nelle sue "Fiabe Italiane". È ispirata alla leggenda (più tragica) della Monacella del Castello Aragonese, contenuta nel libro di Arcangelo Valente "Case vecchie e case nuove". Ho usato il tutorial di @gretlusky su Deviantart per fare questo disegno.

Here's the Siren of Tarent, Skuma ("Foam" or "Froth"), as she's stealing "the Fairest of them All" from the sirens' garden. Her tale, "the Siren wife", comes from Giuseppe Gigli's "Superstizioni, pregiudizi e tradizioni in Terra d'Otranto" (superstitions, prejudices and traditions in the Land of Otranto), which was included in Italo Calvino's "Italian Folktales". It's based on the more tragic legend around the Monacella at the Castello Aragonese, included in Arcangelo Valente's book "Vase vecchie e case nuove" (old houses and new houses). I used @gretlusky's tutorial on Deviantart for this picture.

Hier ist die Sirene von Tarent, Skuma (Schaumkrone), während sie "die Schönste von Allen" aus dem Garten der Nixen stiehlt. Ihr Märchen, "Meine Frau, die Sirene", stammt aus Giuseppe Giglis Buch, "Superstizioni, pregiudizi e tradizioni in Terra d'Otranto" (Aberglaube, Vorurteile und Traditionen aus dem Land von Otranto), und wurde von Italo Calvino in seiner Sammlung "Italienischer Märchen" aufgenommen. Ursprünglich hatte die Sage ein tragisches Ende, wie in Arcangelo Valentes Buch "Case vecchie e case nuove" (Alte Häuser und neue Häuser) von der Monacella im Castello Aragonese erzählt wird. Ich hab für dieses Bild @gretlusky 's Tutorial auf Deviantart benutzt
